Ile then hinted to me that I might find no difficulty in getting iirM . ,..Parliament for a rotten borough, and my reply was this. " You bad me in your county gaol two years. alai six roontiri,, and yret a n d your brother magi strates treated me iii the most cruel and cowardly manner.

But now the case is altered. If he comes in at all, it must beat Mr. Dickinrson'ti tail ; so that Dickinson must be in this instance the dog, and Leather breeches must' be the kettle at the dog's tail (roars of laughter).

Mr. Seagur was about to speak, but the Mayor declined to hear him. Mr. Bawl - Lau. (deridingly).--I claim the privilege now, Mr. Mayor, of smoaking my' Segar. The scene was varied a little soon after by the cross-examina tion of one of the independent electors of Preston. Mr. Seagur, after teasing him with several trifling questions, said, "Well where did you come, from before that, John ?"—(No answer).— " \' hue did you come from, I say ?" John—Come.frorn h-11. • . The iklAvou..--Order. • You must answer the question in a civil wuy. Answer Ate question. John—. G--n d—n the fellow, why need he ask?--(Great laughter.)

Mr; BIRCHALL—Don't be angry--that gentleman only sprung up to-day like a mushroom. John--And you sprung up only the day before. The favourable reception of this retort kept the worthy elector in tolerably good humour, till a man was put into the box beside him, - fur the. purpose of proving that he had received pariah re lief;. and failing 'in that, John was, with the 'dimwit difficulty, prevented by the officers from inflicting on him summary punish ment, and actually gave him a disgraceful kick as he was making his escape from the box. Mr. Seagur repeatedly interrupted the polling, by insisting on the bribery oath being taken, and by putting numerous questions, which those on the other side thought were made rather fur .the purpose of creating delay, than for ascertaining the right' of voters. Interruptions similar to these occurred repeatedly during the day, but they were so little varied, that it is needless to allude to them, more particularly. The hostility of the contending parties remained Unabated to the last. Bitter attacks, and - us bitter re plies seemed to be the order of the day. I wonder said the Mayor, if Mr. Seagur makes use of such language, and shows as little re spect to Judges on the Bench, as he does to this Court. I should think they would soon teach him better manners. Mr. SEAntra (angrily)--My professional character, Sir, is not to he attacked by you. The MAYOK—I dare say not. Mr. linacictruusT.—Mr. Mayor, I request you will call that gentleman ''(Mr. Birchen) to order. The MAYOR.---I will, when you can pronounce the word order. Mr. Bt.AtOmtfasT.—l call upon you to defend me. If you do not, I think I can defend Myself without your assistance. These scenes were occasionally relieved by the hiunourous re plies of some of the voters, on being a little too strictly examined, by .the attornies of - the respective Candidates.--. Were you ever in a poor-house'? said Mr. Seaguri to a good-natured active looking young man. Never.—l suppose you never saw a workhouse all: yourlifti yea I have.

Let me conclude with a quotation that shall be from the words of a great man—John Gilpin And when next I ride abroad May yon be there . to see, (Cheers and laughter.) Captain l3s a en, in addressing.the multitude from a window of his hotel, said he would not detain them at that late .hour for more than one minute. They must all have seen what from be ginning to-end had been going on at the ImAings. The enemy had.recourre to 'tricks the the purpose of preventing 'his friends from voting as they wished. - I , lw history of this election should be laid before the House of Cortnone(lfear, hear)---and then he should have fair play and justice. still he did not despair. He would keep up the fire, and fight it nut to the last man. Let his friends only rally round . him, and the victory might yet be theirs --(Great. applawie.) Captain COLQUM had frequently impressed on the minds of the electors the unfitness of Mr. Wood, and would not cease day after day to renew the attack. He was not the man for the people of Preston, nor did he and his' friends consult the interests of that ancient borough, or of the poor weavers throughout the county. Who was it that was one of the chief causes of raising the prices of cotton from Is. 4d. to sls. the pound? Was it not one of his staunchest supporters—Mr. Cropper of Liverpool ? This tended directly to injurohe poor weavers.—(Hear, hear.)—Au old man on crutches that day came up to swell the numbers of Mr. Wood ; and on being asked why he had promised his vote for Mr. Wood, " Hecause,'! said fie, " Mr. Wood told me he would cure me of all my ills."—( Laughter. )---Thus be went on humbugging the poor people out of their votes; but, let the inert of Preston, actuated by sound principles, return to the charge, and they should yet have the man who alone was fit to represent them in Parliament.— (Cheering.) Su xi)* MORNING. The election closes to-morrow at three o'clock, and the great probability is, that Mr. Wood will succeed. Of Mr. Stanley's success there can, of course, he no question. Captain Hanle has iisued a hand-bill, stating hil determination to keep the poll open to the last moment. The Clergyman at the Catholic Chapel, in his discourse this morning, took occasion to congratulate his Rock on the fewness of the instances during the election in which the ;rumbas of his communion had been induced to take the Oa 1.11 of Supremacy. The subject of his discourse was the prohibition contained in the conunandinent against false swearing. COUNTY OF WESTMORLAND. TIMID DAY—APPLEBY, aura: 14. The polling went on pretty briskly in the course of the day, but the Ifiuee complained that the Yellow* had filled the space near the ptiling booth* so early as ten o'clock, in order to keep off the voters. . In the course of the morning, the Rev. John Adamthwaite of Winton (a supporter of Mr. Brougham' i i at the last election, but mix of those who signed the declaration against him on the " No Popery" cry), entered the town on horseback. As he proceeded , , over the bridge, he was hooted and called a turn-coat. '1 ' he Rev. clentleman stopped opposite the King's Head (the hea d- quarters o the Yellows), and addressped the freeholders. Were the close of the poll, a man named Abbptt, belonging to the - Lomita*, interest, got upon the linstinge, and used some taunting expressions towards the Blues, and hinted at the increase of appetite they were likely to sxperience, without the means of satisfying it, by th e middl e o f next week, This incensed the other party, and one of their leaders exclaimed, " thee l - we'll ha' thee out o* that,—come, lads." They instantly rusleed upon the hustings, seized upon the man, and dragged him neck abbudt t n it ; ar47 , po 'Ll .n th r he e u re ltwas thought gist he tnuet b" killed ; got upon his feet, and peade a kind mf moping fight, and eseaped to his party With a few slight cuts cued hemases.

It is next to impossible to describe the extent to which party feeling runs here. A person seen speaking to one party it almost shunned by the other—one instance I will give you. A fellow who got his hand cut in a row, went to a medi cal man (a party man too), who; finding him one of his oppo nents, sewed up the wound. 'When the man departed, he turned round and said, it was not necessary to sew up that wound, a bit of adhesive plaister Would do, 'but we must make these fellows feel a bit. It is expected the Election will last all next week. The Under Sheriff came forward, and declared the state of the pull to be as follows:; ON THE DAY'S POfL. Lorfl Lowther. Mr. Brougham.

The third candidate (Mr. Brougham) had closed his speech yesterday with a powerful ex hortation to preserve peace and good order. In the whole of what was said upon that occasion he (Lord Lowther) most cor dially concurred, and he trusted there would be nu further cause of complaint. He should be sorry to see the peace and quiet of the county disturbed, and he trusted, that after what had taken place to-day, tranquillity would be preserved, and that, in the the course of the next week, both the heat of the weather and the head of the contest Would be considerably abated.—(A laugh.)—The third Candidate, in the course of his speech yester day, favoured them - with some hackneyed topics; nay, he went so far back as the time of our immortal Bard, Shakespeare, and com plained of " The Law's Delay." Now, he hoped what he was going to say might not be considered disrespectful, but, looking to the bickerings, the ill-feeling, and the delays caused by that Learned Profession, he should rejoice to see them—every one of them—removed from the county.—(A laugh, and cries of " Brougham and all !" mingled with hisses.)—He wished them a good night, and hoped to meet them all in good health and spirits at the poll on Monday morning. Colonel LOWTifER said, that being next upon the poll, it became his turn; as it was his duty, to thank those friends whose kindness bad placed him there. He was confident at starting that his friends would not leave him in the lurch, but would support him to the last. Ile had not seen the state of the poll, but, he believed he was 70 a-head of the 'third candidate.—(Cries of " No, no, I only 62 !"). 7 --Well, he was 62 a-head; notwithstanding his having been deprived of his agents in the booths, and having his Counsel knocked off in the Assessor's Court.

He, happening to !wailer than his friend, could see over tie gate behind; his friend being short, was obliged to 'mount"the wail. And there they saw a goodly sight. One of his friends, Mr, Wharton had had some experience in electioneering; as he hid himself witnessed nine elections, all of them glorious to hint; but no ne more glori ous than the last, although •in that he had been defeated.* lie load digressed thus far in speaking of his very excellent friend, Mr. Wharton, a gentleman Who' was most warm and zealous for' the honour and independence of the county of Westmoreland._ But to return--that gentleman having had some experience in elections, was not surprised at what he mew upon that occasion ; but another younger and less experienced friend appeared alarmed at seeing a long covered place like a booth or tent, attached to an hospital, capable of holding a great many petsons, provided they were close packed. And without the booth, were a great many persons, to he sure they must not , be very wise to remain there, but then what could the poor fellows do? There they bad been brought by their masters, and there they must remain, no matter at what inconvenience, until they performed the work required of them. They were, he understood, all fed by con tract, vast quantities of flour, and that Contract-flour too, which it was said was not of the best, were, he had been told, baked into bread for them ; numbers of cattle, which being also furnish. ed by contract, were he presumed, the lean kin.," were served up for their use, but, at in weather like this, such meat could not keep long fresh, he presumed that it was pickled for the use of the poor fellows, who were obliged to eat it. They had, too, large quantities of yellow drink (which he verily believed was the nest of their fare) furnished to them, and thus penued up, they were sum moned both to their dinner's and to their duty by a regular heat of drum. Upon looking upon these men, he thought he bad seen some persons so placed before, but he could not, at the moment, recollect when or where; but in a short time it struck him that they were mewed up like the Italian witnesses, kept in (Amon. Garden in the Queen's ease—(cheers, and cries of "what lout that to do with the election ?").—with this difference, that those witnessed were treated better than were their friends behind the Noble Lord's house, because they were clothed as well as fed, Which was not the case in • the relent instance. Now, all this, while it caused his friends, or at least one of thein, to be down, treat, gave huts spirits, because he felt tliet, when the poor un happy men who were obliged to submit to such treatment were told out, then the free, the tothOught, the untamed, the untame able spirits of the honest Grey Coats of the County, would be aroused ; then would come forward those men whom no threats could deter, whom no briber could corrupt from the performance of their duty ; inert who would oppose themselves again and agent to those who were marshalled against them)/ money, or opposed to.them by power, and istose victory would become the more great in propprtion to the baseness of the means taken to defeat them.

The Moniteur of Saturday contains no further domments or intelligence from Rio de Janerio. (From the Etoile t dated Sunday, June 25.) RIO IM JANIIRO, MAY 9. The two Chambers have commenced their session. The fol lowing is the decree convoking them . As we see the day approach which is fixed by the Constitution . for the installation' of the General Legislative Assembly; and as it is proper for the public felicity of the Empire, that this assembly should exercise, as soon as possible, its important functions, have thought fit to appoint the 29th of the present month, at nine o'clock in the morning, for the first meeting of the Senators and Deputies in their respective Chambers, in order that they may proceed to the preliminary observations indispensable for the solemn opening of the Assembly. Joseph Felicien Fernandez Pinheiro, Member of my Council, and Minister Secretary of State fur the Affairs of she Empire will attend to this, and cause it to be printed and published, that it may be carried into exe cution., " Given at the Palace of fio de Janeiro, Sept. 25, with the signature of his IMperial Majesty. (Countersigned) " J. F. F. PINHEIRO." The two Chambers have had five preparatory Sittings em ployed, among other things, in verifying the iower of the Mem bers, and regulating some details of the ceremonies. The Chamber of Deputies mustering at first only 51 Members, whereas the Constitution requires 52 (one more than the half), debated a long time whether it could verify the powers of the Members; but the arrival of more Members removed the diffi culty. In the Sitting of the 2d May, the Government sent a message, inviting the two Chambers to attend the mass of the Holy Ghost on the 4th. The opening speech was to be delivered at the latest ou the 9th May. PAnly, JUNE 23.—The Emperor of Brazil, on the 3 0 th April, named the Marquis of Abrantes a Peer of the kingdom of Portugal; the same promotion is announced to 23 other Mar quises, 40 Counts, 13 Bishops, and to seven others, viz, the Duke de Cadavel, President ; the Duke de Alafaes ; the Car dinal Patriarch, Vice-President; the Archbishop-Primate; the Archbishops of Adrianople, of Elva*, and of Evora. Pants, JuNz 2.s.—Brazil and Portugal are for ever separa ted. A young Prince, full of and Ideas , but, perhaps, ra th er too confident in the full force o bis genius, has rejected the crown of his ancestors, the crown of Emanuel and Alphunso, for the purpose of mounting, in the midst of revolutionary storms, the more brilliant, but less solid throne of a new empire; he has abandoned a people, of whom God and Nature made him the father and monarch ; a people who appealed to him, and co - him alone, for the establishment of their laws, of their liberties, of their glory—to reign over a half-civilized assemblage of Indians And Africans, intermixed with a trifling number of Portuguese coloniite. He has entered the lists with those republicans who constitute the population of the American continent ; and risks a still more dangerous conflict with those republican sentiments which are springing up on all sides, in the very bosom of his own empire. . iVhat has he to oppose to such dangers? Great personal cou rage, au enterprisinfr character ; but rather fond of command than capable of exerctsingit ; the promises of a charter ; the re jection of constitutional ministers, of proclamations highly liberal ; the dissolution of the first national representation ; of the allianCes with England and Austria ; a spirit of discontent at Bahia and Pernambuco.' In fine, he aspires to the establishment of a new monarchy, where he will have to create laws, institutions, finances, an army, a fleet, while every inch of hie native soil is a fire of re volutionary elements. Bolivar is at his gates, while Europe is worn out, distant, and divided. The ancient Portuguese monarchy (with her other colonies, still important, and formerly guaranteed against Brazil) does not, perhaps, so much regret the inevitable separation of an empire, become too great to remain a colony, as the loss of a Sovereign whim, the legitimate order of succession had reserved for her, and who could not, consistently, refuse to . ratify the solemn pledges given by his father tb re-establish the constitution of the Cortes of Lamego, and to set at least some bounds to the anarchical des potism under which Portugal, for ages, has seen her natural re sources dried, up, her agriculture, her industry, and her commerce languishing, and the British, flag triumphant in her harbours. And what does Portugal present? A Princess, seven years old,—the immediate prospect of a regency,--the distant prospect of the marriage of her young Queen with one of her Princes, who, scarce passed the years of adolescence, has declared himself decidedly au enemy to public liberty, who has persecuted not only the men of national spirit, but even those among his father'S courtiers who seemed disposed to moderate a little the absolute government. Such are the arrangements of diplomacy. England has suc ceeded in preventing that aggrandizement, that independence, that power, to which the Portuguese possessions, united under Don Pedro, would have attained. She has succeeded in retain ing, under her two-fold protectorate, the two colonies of Portugal and Brazil. Perhaps she has it in contemplation to deprive Por tugal of the merely nominal and useless sovereignty of Goa, the We of Timor, Angola, and Mozambique ; possessions necessary to cOMplete her universal colonial monarchy, u the Quarterly Review has frequently insinuated. However, as Austria possesses some influence in the Cabinet of Rio Janeiro, and has some connexion with a party in Lisbon, English diplomacy finds it expedient to conciliate the sublime genius,of M. Metternich by two ways; one is, to balance the power of Bolivar and of the American Republicans, by preserving at least one monarchy In the new Continent ; the other, to pre vent Portugal from reconquering her ancient constitutional liber ties, or, as M. (lentz says, '' from plunging into the abyss of Prnee re volutionary innovation." The Portug uese C or t e s olLaniego are as those of Hungary. There it somewhat too much of such den gerous example,. There remai ns i n trut h , one great one i mmense question, at which diplomacy never boggles, but w hi c h must come under th e examination ,of public opinion.

The Paris Papers of Saturday, including the Etoile dated Sunday morning, have been received, but are destitute of any political intelligence, with the excep- , tion of the following article from Constantinople, under date of the 23d Allay, from which it appears that the departure of the Turkish Commissioners to treat with the Commissioners of 'Russia, had pot actually taken place at that time. ' CONSTANTIXOrLE, MAr 28.—The Commissioners appointed by the Porte to go to Bucharest, and thence to the frontiers of Russia, to treat with the Commissioners of that barrier on the Points still in dispute, have not yet departed, but they were pre paring to quit this capital. lii their suite are Nati Effendi, as Secretary, and Esrar Effendi, as interpreter, with whom Amek 'Effendi is associated. They are all Turks, which seem to confirm the resolution said to have been adopted by the Porte, not again to invest any Greek with public functions. We have learnt no thing new from the Mores ; it does' not appear that Ibrahim has directed his efforts, as it was said he would, against Napoli di Ro mania. lie must wait at Patras for reinforcements. Every thing is preparing at Napoli di Romania to Make a vigorous resist ance, and it is thought that the division of the heroic defenders of Missolongbi, which, according to the accounts received by the Porte, made its way through the Egyptian army, and must have arrived at Corinth, will, if necessary, go to Napoli di Romania. The Papers are principally filled with the decrees arid . other preparations for the meeting of the two Chambers at Rio tie Janeiro, the appointment by the Emperor of BRAZIL, of the lilarquess.of A BRANT F,s, 23' other Marquesses, 40 Counts, 13 Bishops, anti seven others, to be Peers of Portugal ; and with debates, on the subject of the separation of that kingdoni from the Brazilian Empire. The Constitutionnei, §lludin4 to the new Peers says, " The Choice of the persons who are to compose the Chamber of Peers of the constitutional kingdom of Portugal and Algarves pre. sents a memorable example to the nations of A* European Continent of that spirit, of that . candid, con , plete, and loyal mixture of parties, inspired by. an ab 4 and generous policy, unknown to the pretended S4to - - men 'who have, since 1814, directed the Holy Alliance Of Kings."—Extracts from the Papers will be found in another column.

In consequence of our Article on Naval Intelligence+ having been left out of our Paper yesterday by mis take, the account it contained of His MAJEsTY's ship North Star, Captain ARABIN, being on shore upon the Break-Water, in . Plymouth Sound, unfor. tunately did not appear. This ship, recently fitted out in the river for the Coast of Africa, and having touched at Portsmouth, was ordered to call at Plymouth for her final orders. On the 24th instant, at about a quarter be fore seven in the morning, she, hove in sight, carrying a press of sail, with the wind'at south east. While in the act of saluting the Admiral, and in endeavouring to enter the Sound, she struck on the east end of the Break., water, and although it was about half flood, and great exertions were made to get her off; it could not' be effected at high water. Boats from the ships in harbour, and the Dock Yard afforded prom assistance ; but every effort was ineffectual, -.Bo€ l on the fall of the tide, when our correspondent's letter was dated, endeavours were making to shore her up with spars, to prevent h er f a lli ng on her . bilge. In this they succeeded, and we are happy to say that we find by letters received from Plymouth this morning, that she was got off the next tide, and is gone into dock, to be examined.
